Rest of World 6 Europe 3.: Tsunami benefit match starring top pro players from around the world. Anybody saw it? Got a video?

A) I sent an email to the Pantheon address on the locker room page asking them to put it in the front page sidebar but got no response. Didn't seem worthy of an FPP though if you read my blog you would have seen a notice or three. B) I watched it, a fun match but not much exciting play. No one wanted to run too hard or tackle--there were no fouls called the entire 90 minutes. Eto'o showed the most creativity on the night, Ronaldhino had some nice moves too. Damarcus Beasley was the only American on the roster and he gave his usual nice bit from the left wing. C) ESPN2 will be showing the ManU-AC Milan Champions League match at Old Trafford next Wednesday afternoon live. You have been warned.

Didn't see it, sorry. It was on ITV2 here and I don't have satellite or cable. What's up with some in the crowd booing the minute's silence? It's about time UEFA or FIFA or whoever the hell's in charge sorted out Spanish football and their racism problem.

I'm playing in a charity match tomorrow night for the tsunami too. They won't be televised though. ITVē couldn't afford us.
